SpaceX selected on the moon mission
NASA plans to send humans back to the moon in 2024 after the Apollo program ended in 1982. The space agency has selected Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX to build the spacecraft.
SpaceX has taken on a 2.9 billion project to build Artemis Lunar Lander, beating Ace Origin and Dynamics. Although it was previously thought that NASA could select two companies for the project.
Basically, NASA wanted to select more than one company to create competition and ensure multiple opportunities. Although three companies were selected in the initial phase last year, SpaceX is finally getting the whole job.
Although SpaceX is currently experiencing problems with reusable spacecraft testing, NASA is confident that it will be resolved soon. SpaceX already has experience working with NASA. The next mission will be conducted on April 22 at the International Space Station.
